There's a Major Recall on Aunt Jemima Products

CNN reports that Pinnacle Foods, a New Jersey-based food company, is recalling Aunt Jemima frozen pancakes, waffles and French toast over fears of a listeria contamination.

The voluntary recall was issued Friday night after the presence of Listeria monocytogenes were identified at a production plant. It affects frozen productsdistributed in the United States and Mexico, but does not include dry mixes and syrups.

Pinnacle Foods said they are working with the FDA to coordinate the recall.

Although no incidents of illness have been reported yet, Listeria can cause serious infections, and can be fatal, especially in children, elderly people and those with weakened immune systems.

If you've purchased any of frozen Aunt Jemima products, you can return them to place of purchase for a full refund.
